Additional Description

Notes about Cam:
Cam is a wheel that is not round, or it is a round wheel that turns around an axle that is not at the center of the wheel.

follower: The rotational movement of the cam is changed into the reciprocating movement of the follower. The follower is in a sleeve, so that it can move in one direction only.

A cam is driven by an axle, so that when the axle rotates, the cam rotates. When the cam rotates, the follower slides on the cam. The position of the follower depends on the angle at which the cam is rotated.
